So, in readiness for the rainbow flight power coming out soon I'm making a rainbow themed celestial character...but I can't seem to find the macro for color shifting with every power usage. Could someone link me to that?

Rainbow Randolf thanks you in advance :)

Don't have a link, but I know the basics behind it. Pretty much you have several key bind files. For each attack that changes color, you have 3 commands. So that it activates the power, changes the color and then loads the next keybind file in the sequence.

I have a character, Polly Chrome, whose powers change colors on every use.


Here's the relevant portion of my bind file for her:
Shift "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 16"
Alt+1 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 7"
Alt+2 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 8"
Alt+3 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 9"
Alt+4 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 10"
Alt+5 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 11"
Alt+6 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 12"
Alt+7 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 13"
Alt+t "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 15"
1 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 0"
2 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 1"
3 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 2"
4 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 3"
5 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 4"
6 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 5"
7 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 6"
t "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 14"

And here's the relevant portion of my CommandAliases.txt file:
alias hue360 "powerhue 0 360$$alias hue hue75"
alias hue75 "powerhue 0 75$$alias hue hue150"
alias hue150 "powerhue 0 150$$alias hue hue225"

You could do this with just bind files, but I didn't really want to create (and maybe maintain) 24 different bind files.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I'm aparently not competent enough to install this from just this...do you have the thread explaining how to do that? I'm lost.

Vaguely on topic, Is it possible to change power colours when changing costumes? I have a fallen angel character whose maddened form would love some redness in the powers...

Or at least some bind which can change the colour to a specific one, and back, with a key press?

@Lastsonofzod:

You'd copy the text provided into a couple of .txt files and then use /bind_load_file [filename.txt] to pull them in to a specific character.

Of course 1) you'd leave out the English text and 2) if you generally use a different key or combo (ex. Numpad instead of Alt+) then you'd edit the text file to match what you're used to.

To use this method, you need to create two text files.
1: A binds file. It can be named anything, but I recommend something like colorshift.txt for this one. It can be saved in:
\Program Files\Cryptic Studios\Champions Online\Live\

In that file just copy and paste these lines: (the ones between Begin and End, not begin and end themselves)
-----------------Begin-----------------
SHIFT "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 16"
ALT+1 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 7"
ALT+2 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 8"
ALT+3 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 9"
ALT+4 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 10"
ALT+5 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 11"
ALT+6 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 12"
ALT+7 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 13"
ALT+t "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 15"
1 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 0"
2 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 1"
3 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 2"
4 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 3"
5 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 4"
6 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 5"
7 "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 6"
t "+down1$$hue$$+powertrayexec 14"
--------------End------------------


2: The alias file. This one must be named CommandAliases.txt, and must be stored in:
\Program Files\Cryptic Studios\Champions Online\Live\localdata


In that file just copy and paste these lines: (the ones between Begin and End, not begin and end themselves)
-----------------Begin-----------------
alias hue360 "powerhue 0 360$$alias hue hue75"
alias hue75 "powerhue 0 75$$alias hue hue150"
alias hue150 "powerhue 0 150$$alias hue hue225"
alias hue225 "powerhue 0 225$$alias hue hue300"
alias hue300 "powerhue 0 300$$alias hue hue15"
alias hue15 "powerhue 0 15$$alias hue hue90"
alias hue90 "powerhue 0 90$$alias hue hue165"
alias hue165 "powerhue 0 165$$alias hue hue240"
alias hue240 "powerhue 0 240$$alias hue hue315"
alias hue315 "powerhue 0 315$$alias hue hue30"
alias hue30 "powerhue 0 30$$alias hue hue105"
alias hue105 "powerhue 0 105$$alias hue hue180"
alias hue180 "powerhue 0 180$$alias hue hue255"
alias hue255 "powerhue 0 255$$alias hue hue330"
alias hue330 "powerhue 0 330$$alias hue hue45"
alias hue45 "powerhue 0 45$$alias hue hue120"
alias hue120 "powerhue 0 120$$alias hue hue195"
alias hue195 "powerhue 0 195$$alias hue hue270"
alias hue270 "powerhue 0 270$$alias hue hue345"
alias hue345 "powerhue 0 345$$alias hue hue60"
alias hue60 "powerhue 0 60$$alias hue hue135"
alias hue135 "powerhue 0 135$$alias hue hue210"
alias hue210 "powerhue 0 210$$alias hue hue285"
alias hue285 "powerhue 0 285$$alias hue hue360"
alias hue "hue360"
--------------End------------------

Once you have both of these files in place, log on with the character that you want to have multicolored powers and type the following in the chat window:
/bindloadfile "colorshift.txt"

This CommandAliases file is only loaded when the game launches, so you'll have to quit and relaunch if the game was running when you did this.

That should be it. That characters powers hould change color everytime one of them is activated.

I've also attached copies of the two files. If you're using different keys for your powers, or have other binds that might conflict, you'll need to edit accordingly.

whoa..thats cool.

I didnt know you could do that...

...shows my awareness level.

Thank you!

i will try this on my ice guy :D

EDIT: tried on my ice guy and on my fire girl look great :D
